1in7 began with a simple statistic, but the ambition was always much greater. Working alongside the founding team, Heat helped shape the organisation from the outset, developing the name, positioning, identity and narrative around a new vision for neurodiversity, education and innovation.

What emerged was not simply another charity or awareness campaign, but a platform built on the belief that every mind is different, and that education, technology and support should reflect that individuality rather than expect people to fit a standard model.

This thinking informed every aspect of the organisation. The folded origami character became the visual expression of the idea: every figure begins with the same sheet of paper, yet each is shaped differently. It became a metaphor not only for neurodiversity, but for the uniqueness found in all of us.

The same philosophy now connects every part of the organisation, from MindArchitect and Learning Hubs to AI-powered tools, the No Two Minds podcast and future initiatives designed to bring together educators, clinicians, families and innovators around a shared purpose.

The result is more than a brand. It is a platform designed to grow, bringing together diverse expertise around one simple belief: different ways of thinking are not something to overcome, but something to understand, celebrate and build upon.
